The Judicial Police of the Civil Guard and Seprona are working against the clock to, as soon as possible, try to send to the Investigative Court 4 of Zamora a report, even if it is of preliminary conclusions, on the death of nurse Arancha Corcero by bites by a pack of dogs. Girón last Monday afternoon on a rural road in the Zamora town of La Hiniesta.
The instructor, according to sources in the case, is waiting to receive that first report to question PGR, the livestock businessman who owns the three large mastiffs and two Leonese shepherds (also called Leonese shepherds or Aqueda dogs) that They killed the girl. The owner refused to testify before the Civil Guard on Tuesday.
In the absence of witnesses – since the 27-year-old girl living in the nearby town of Roales del Pan was alone when she was attacked by the five dogs and there was absolutely no one in that area – the report of the armed institute the report of the armed institute will be key to sustaining the accusation of reckless homicide and its possible aggravating factors against PGR
The researchers are working with three fundamental hypotheses about why the animals attacked the young woman to death, a very unusual event despite the territoriality and aggressiveness of these breeds. The first is that the five dogs were hungry due to lack of food and care from the owner, a possibility that could aggravate the accusations against the farmer.
The second is that the pack was so fierce due to the presence of two carea puppies less than a month old. And the third, that the animals were especially nervous due to the presence of wolves nearby in the area, a circumstance that upsets the shepherd dogs.
The mayor of Roales del Pan himself, David García Montes, supported this last thesis this Wednesday with which Seprona was already working and revealed that in the municipality of Granja de Moreruela, 30 kilometers north of where the nurse died, there had been an recently an attack by a pack of wolves and there is a “suspicion” that these animals had moved south and had had contact with the La Hiniesta pack.
In search of the fifth dog
Be that as it may, the Civil Guard has already confirmed that the five dogs that attacked the nurse were outside the portable electric fence in which the sheep flock was confined. The fatal attack, according to the agents’ measurements, occurred about 50 meters from that fence and without any human supervision.
Among the efforts already carried out by the Seprona agents is the taking of teeth samples from four of the five dogs to determine which one gave the fatal bites to Arancha Corcero. The Civil Guard has not yet been able to locate a fifth dog in the pack, a six-month-old animal from León, which did not have a chip, card, or vaccine.
The Government delegate in Castilla y León, Virginia Barcones, revealed this Wednesday that the owner of the dogs had already had two complaints in 2016 for incidents that occurred with other animals he owned. But Barcones insisted that “there is no prior complaint or action in the Civil Guard regarding these animals,” which killed the nurse.
